Not as good as others in What to Expect series..

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 10, 2012

Let me say this first - I am a huge fan of What to Expect When You're Expecting and WTE First Year books. I have told dozens of people they should purchase them so I was really excited to get this for my son's newest year. With the other two, there literally was never a topic I wanted to know about that wasn't discussed. Not the case with Second Year.

Other than skimming the pages and reading general Second Year info, I have gone to this book three times for specific questions regarding my son. All three were big strike-outs. In case you were wondering the three issues were hand, foot and mouth disease, impact of death of a close family member, and excessive drooling with no other medical problem.

All in all, this book has lots of great information and is probably worth buying. Just don't expect it to be a go-to book as in-depth and comprehensive as the earlier books. Who knows - maybe we are just a bit too far from norm!

I raised my own children using this authors book first book on raising your one year old, 35 years ago. Now I have a grandson and I still love her advice. Love that she wrote a book for two year olds too. I’ve seen a bunch of other books for raising baby and this information is just what a new mom needs! Still the best one around in my opinion. Very very helpful, even for a Grammie!!

This book is a very helpful in growth and development of your toddler. It will give you a guide on how they are during their first 2 years. As a first time mom it really teaches me a lot of my son which is now 15 months old.

I've read all the books in the series and found them to be very helpful. Not preachy and with sound, common sense advice that stands the test of time. For a first time mom until my second kid these books helped me quite a bit.

Not quite what I was expecting but still helpful

If you are familiar with the “What to Expect…” series you’ll notice a difference in this one which gives very generalized physical and developmental overviews at the beginning of the book and jumps right in to answering questions. There are also some side notes here and there. I wish it had more details regarding developmental milestones and tips for activities to do with your toddler but the book is still helpful and informative.

Good toddler resource!

Not as great as the first book. It is broken up into categories (sleep, feeding, safety, etc.) rather than by age. Obviously it would not make sense to do a month by month breakdown as with the first book, but I think they could've done 12-15 months, 15-18 months, etc. and the book would have been more helpful. It is still a good resource but it definitely isn't a must read like the first year book!

Bought this book for valuable information for kiddos I work with in the birth to three age range and for my grandson who is almost 17 months. Chock full of information regarding topics from feeding, sleeping, behavior, growth,discipline, communication, play and so much more. Highly recommend!

Hello Jojo

So much more useful than I imagined it would be! SO GLAD I purchased this book!!!

I was reluctant to purchase this book because I was so set in the month-by-month structure that the prior "What to Expect" books were broken down in, but it's so true that at this point, every baby blossoms differently and goes through things at a different pace. So it is EXTREMELY nice to have everything broken down by topic category instead for super easy reference. I'm not even kidding, I flipped it open to the middle of the book as soon as I got it and BAM! I instantly found an answer to one of the burning questions I've been wondering about. That right there was when I had my epiphany that this book really is exactly what I needed in my life at this point. It's so nice to just flip through and read up on different topics and I still get the same reassurance that I always have gotten out of reading these awesome books. I'm SO GLAD I made the decision to go ahead and buy it!! Even with the internet at our fingertips, there is no comparison to being able to sit down and read through a book full of up to date knowledgeable information, tips and tricks. I kept hearing "Oh you don't need those books" but fortunately I decided to give them a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! They are the best!!

Great resource - I refer to it all the time!

I used the book "What to Expect the First Year" and found it very helpful as a first time mom, so I purchased this book for the second year. I love it! My daughter is 19 months old now and I still refer to it all the time - often to re-read something I probably forgot! It does a great job of covering most of the questions you might have and I love the beginning section that lists developmental milestones by month. I noticed one reviewer said they did not like the new format of this book - instead of a different chapter for each month chapters are organized by category (e.g. feeding, sleeping, talking). I like this format much better for the second year for a couple of reasons. 1-Children develop at their own pace and there is a wider range of what is normal as children get older compared to when they are 3 months old. 2-It is much easier to find an answer to a question you have or to just sit down and read about feeding, discipline, whatever interests you at the moment.

You might need additional books or resources for more in depth coverage of certain problems if they go above and beyond "typical" toddler issues, but this is a comprehenive book that is sure to cover most of the questions you may have during your child's second year.

I would buy a book for the 3rd year if it were available!
